雅虎香港財經 Jim Cramer on NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA): “A $10 Trillion Stock”
We recently published a list of Jim Cramer Stock Portfolio for Q4: Top 11 Stocks to Buy and Sell. Since NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) ranks 1st on the list, it deserves a deeper look.
Jim Cramer in a latest program on CNBC talked about the importance of using short-term rallies to your advantage. He said that investors should know when to take the chips off the table.
“The idea that you should buy and hold through both the best of times and worst of times is probably incredibly foolish, with only very few exceptions,” Cramer said.
Cramer said that if the stock you bought is going higher and higher and you keep resisting the urge to take some profits, you won’t make any actual money from these gains if the stock comes down later paring all these profits. This seems straightforward but the idea of buying low and selling high is easier said than done, Cramer said.
“Don’t get carried away by the optimism. Instead, keep your head on straight, check your emotions, focus on long term and think about ringing the register, especially on stocks that might be getting too high,” Cramer added.
For this article we watched several latest programs of Jim Cramer aired on CNBC and picked 10 stocks he’s talking about. We also picked an interesting prediction Cramer made back in 2021 about a stock and saw how it turned out. With each company we have mentioned the number of hedge fund investors.

NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:NVDA)
Number of Hedge Fund Investors: 179
In December 2021, long before ChatGPT was launched or using trending words like “hyperscalers” or “LLM” was fashion, Jim Cramer made some prescient comments about the chipmaker during a program on CNBC.
“I just went there and I saw things, I went time-traveling with Jensen Huang. I am being a pig in NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:NVDA) because this may be a $10 trillion stock.”
Back then, NVDA was trading at around $29 and today it’s at $123.
Nvidia’s declines after the latest quarterly results were more or less expected amid Blackwell delay reports confirmed by management. However, the delays were mainly due to a change in Blackwell GPU mask. That does not affect the main functional logic or design of the chip, according to analysts. While Blackwell has been delayed for a few months, it does not change the core growth thesis for Nvidia.
Nvidia is set to see huge growth on the back of the data center boom amid the AI wave.
At Nvidia’s GPU Technology Conference in March 2024, CEO Jensen Huang estimated annual spending on data center infrastructure at about $250 billion. Over the next decade, this could total between $1 trillion and $2 trillion, depending on how long this level of investment continues. During the same Q&A session, Bank of America’s Vivek Arya echoed this estimate, suggesting the total addressable market would fall in the $1-2 trillion range, particularly as countries invest in their own AI infrastructure. By the end of the decade, spending could be at the high end of that range.
Of course, Nvidia won’t dominate the entire $2 trillion opportunity, as it faces competition from companies like AMD and internally developed AI accelerators from Google, Amazon, and even Apple. Some analysts believe Nvidia’s data center market share between 2025 to 2029 will be over $950 billion—less than half of the total market—but still enough to make it the leader in the sector.
Ithaka US Growth Strategy stated the following regarding NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) in its Q2 2024 investor letter:
“NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) is the market leader in visual computing through the production of high-performance graphics processing units (GPUs). The company targets four large and growing markets: Gaming, Professional Visualization, Data Center, and Automotive. NVIDIA’s products have the potential to lead and disrupt some of the most exciting areas of computing, including: data center acceleration, artifi cial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and autonomous driving. The reason for the stock’s appreciation in the quarter was twofold: First, the stock benefi ted from tremendous excitement surrounding the further development of generative AI and the likelihood this would necessitate the purchase of a large number of Nvidia’s products far into the future; Second, Nvidia posted another strong beat[1]and-raise quarter, where the company upped its F2Q25 revenue guidance above Street estimates, showcasing its dominant position in the buildout of today’s accelerated computing infrastructure.”
Overall, NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) ranks 1st on Insider Monkey’s list titled Jim Cramer Stock Portfolio for Q4: Top 11 Stocks to Buy and Sell. While we acknowledge the potential of NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA), our conviction lies in the belief that AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns, and doing so within a shorter timeframe. If you are looking for an AI stock that is more promising than NVDA but that trades at less than 5 times its earnings, check out our report about the cheapest AI stock.
